2023 Bruce Trail End to End Hike Apr 8, 2023

My favourite drive-to area to fish has been my destination for over 30 years, and it keeps surprising me. In a summer where getting out on the water with a buddy was hit or miss (summer 2020), on a sunny day, with low wind, and the new phrase of “distancing” in place, Chris and I […]

Whether you are camping, hiking or like me, fishing, it’s great to have options when it comes to cooking meals. Often when I’m out on the water it can be tough to find a spot for a shore lunch, particularly if I’m looking to cook over an open fire. Problem solved, check out my review […]
